You do know that there is the concept of carrier strike groups which involve you putting a bunch of planes on an aircraft carrier and sailing it to the region. Just like UK's HMS Queen Elizabeth is doing as we speak. Also there are US

The idea that China has a 100% chance of winning is laughable and plain wrong. There are so many dynamics involved e.g. Japan needing to defend the Senkaku Islands, India, UK and EU member states being involved and the fact that you an incr

I use to be one of those fanboys until I used their product. They have quite a few dodgy subscription traps and a firm "no-refund under any circumstances" policy even when mistakes were on their end. I have constantly had to init

This is simply nonsense. Apple asks you every, single time you upgrade your iOS/OSX device to confirm your privacy and telemetry settings. And all of the features they implement are private by design. They use features such as differe

Adobe's products are not trivial. And yet they have ported them not only to iOS but also to M1. Just because you don't see changes in the UI doesn't mean there hasn't been significant engineering effort spent.

It only makes no sense if you have a black/white view of the world. Some apps will run on device and need the full performance e.g. video editing. Other apps will be a thin client.

Objective-C supports dynamic dispatch i.e. call methods using a string at runtime. So it's impossible to have static analysis work in all cases.

None of these are likely to compare to using GRPC with BPF: https://github.com/fujita/greeter-bpf 2-3x faster than GRPC-Go.

You don't seem to be completely across the issue. If it was purely about talking about politics at work then everyone wouldn't have resigned.

You are just arguing semantics. If you do not acknowledge white supremacy exists and needs to be eliminated then you can't expect people to trust you on this issue. And trust is a critical part of being a leader.

> Resigning over a random employee refusing to say that "white supremacy exists" is absurd It's not a random employee though. It's someone who is part of the Senior Leadership Team. If you deny that it exists then how

We celebrate sports stars, CEOs from Atlassian/Canva/etc. It's not about being successful. It's about not having an ego and acting like you're better than everyone else just because you are successful. Americans are

The idea that it is "his" workplace belongs in the Mad Men era of business. If you want to attract and keep talent you need to listen to their views and involve in them defining the values of the company.

In this case it would be completely normal and legitimate for Bose to sue. You need to defend your trademarks otherwise courts will render them moot.

They have always been encoding in VP9 though. But it doesn't mean they will be serving it. For example OSX doesn't support it at all and iOS only supports VP9 in 4K/HDR mode and only for certain versions.

by threeseed 6y ago
And VP9 is patent encumbered but they have a license from MPEG-LA. So it's definitely not any more open than H.264.

This is a low-information, immature piece of work that adds absolutely nothing constructive. It does not deserve to be amplified by HN.

It would have been nice to see a nuanced, thoughtful, insightful look at the various viewpoints that exist within this complex issue. Because many parts of this "activism" are important e.g. how women are treated in IT or what val

You do know they just updated the AppleTV and the remote has more buttons. Also there is a preference so that button goes to Home screen instead of AppleTV app.

Many OEMs including large ones like Dell have built Linux desktops and laptops over the years. No one buys them. It’s not because of the lack of apps but because the basics are so poor e.g. broken sleep mode, driver instability, poor batter

This comment could have been written a decade ago and it was as laughable back then as it is today. Developers do not dictate the success of a platform. Users do. And they don’t want Linux on the desktop.

10.15 was released 18 months ago so I assume this article is from 2020. The process has improved since then so not sure how much of this still applies.

Your position is ridiculous and unworkable. By your definition companies like Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, Epic Games, Intel, AMD, Nvidia, IBM, Stripe, Facebook, Samsung, Adobe etc would all need to be broken up as like Apple they are in mult

That thread is from 8 years ago. And you're talking about issues from 5 years ago. I really don't understand why you think it's relevant today.

But then we get nationalism and politics permanently intertwined with medicine. As we’ve seen with the US and EU during COVID are exports and recipe sharing going to be banned if some cancer curing drug is discovered ?
